Popeye – Greek Mirthology (1954)

In this mythological Popeye adventure, Popeye tells his nephews the story of how their ancestor, Hercules, gained his legendary strength from spinach. As Popeye narrates, the tale comes to life in ancient Greece, where Hercules battles monsters, rescues maidens, and faces off against a Bluto-like villain who challenges his power. The timeless rivalry, combined with giant creatures, heroic feats, and comedic twists, turns Greek mythology into a hilarious spinach-fueled spectacle. Packed with colorful animation and clever parody, this short remains one of Popeye’s most entertaining retellings.
